In Search of the Missing Biography & Memoir
Mick McCarthy Patricia Ahern
9781856356916 | €16. 99 | PB | 320 pages | 215 x 135 mm A dramatic memoir of life as a search dog handler working in search and rescue in Ireland. Renowned as one of the most skilled search dog handlers on both land and sea, Mick McCarthy has over twenty years experience of searching for missing persons. He has experienced first-hand the dangers, thrills, tragedies and triumphs of search and rescue operations carried out on flood-swollen rivers, raging seas, through woodland, bog land and on treacherous mountains, often in the dead of night. McCarthy’s captivating story provides a deeply personal account of how a boy who loved the company of dogs grew up to become a man obsessed with dogs and their training, ultimately leading to the idea of qualifying his dog for voluntary search and rescue work, regardless of the cost, even to his personal life. Based on his abiding philosophy that ‘perfect practice makes perfect’, he paints a vivid picture of the characters and dogs behind search and rescue operations, the painstaking demands of training and the rigorous requirements for qualification.

Jean Noël Coghe 9781856353878 | €12. 99 | PB | 192 pages | 198 x 129 mm Biography of the innovative and gifted guitarist from Cork who laid the foundations for the development of Irish rock and blues. This is the incredible story of the boy from Cork whose talent as a guitarist emerged at an early age. He began his musical career in the showband era but soon founded the rock band Taste. After leaving the band, Rory recorded his first solo album in 1971. It was the gateway to over twenty years of recording, playing live and collaborations with the Fureys, the Dubliners and many others. The tragic death of Rory Gallagher in 1995 at the age of 47 robbed Ireland of one of its finest musicians, an artist whose development closely mirrored that of Irish music in general.

What really happened to Larry Griffin? History, True Crime
Fachtna Ó Drisceoil 9781856356930 | €14. 99 | PB | 352 pages | 198 x 128 mm Fachtna Ó Drisceoil weaves the pieces of this mystery together, using new evidence which paints a sordid portrait of lies, half-truths, conspiracy, intimidation and Garda brutality in the 1920s. Postman Larry Griffin vanishes during his rounds in Stradbally on Christmas Day 1929. The only clue to what happened was an abandoned bicycle on a deserted country road. The story of the Missing Postman as it became known, made the headlines nationally and overseas, when ten prominent local people were arrested and charged with his murder. The defendants included such pillars of the community as two local Civic Guards, the school teacher, the local publican, his wife and two of their children. For eighty years the doors of Stradbally and the Garda files on the case remained firmly shut against anyone trying to investigate the story. Numerous successful libel actions taken by the former defendants further discouraged media interest. However all those involved have passed on. Government files, which cast new light on the case, have recently become available, and in this extraordinary new book, Ó Drisceoil weaves the pieces of the puzzle togther, and reveals the possible shocking answer to the question - What really happened to Larry Griffin?

With pressure on the Irish administration from an anxious British government, Superintendent Daniel Ryan and his G squad of detectives must run the gang to ground. Through innovative use of eyewitness testimonies, police reports, medical notes and other material, the author casts a magnifying glass on Victorian Dublin – a city in which the footsteps of the assassin are never far away.

Unlikely Rebels The Gifford Girls History, Biography & Memoir
Anne Clare 9781856357128 | €16. 99 | PB | 320 pages | 215 x 135 mm The Gifford sisters, Grace (later Plunkett), Muriel (later MacDonagh), Nellie (later Donnelly) and Sydney (later Czira) were instrumental to the Republican cause during the 1916 period. The first two married signatories of the Easter Rising proclamation, and all three went on to become key figures in the formation of the Irish Republic. Grace Gifford is one of the tragic victims of the 1916 Easter Rising, but the poignancy of her brief marriage to the executed rebel leader Joseph Mary Plunkett has tended to overshadow her family's deep commitment to the cause of the Irish Republic. Grace was the second youngest of twelve children. Her sisters were raised in their mother's Protestant faith and the sons were raised as Catholics. The Gifford sisters were heavily involved with the leaders of the 1916 Rising, such as Constance Markievicz, Thomas MacDonagh (who married Grace's sister, Muriel), Padraic Pearse and Maud Gonne. The sisters became strong supporters of the Irish Women's Franchise League, a militant organization working to obtain voting rights for women.

Renegades
Irish Republican Women 1900-1922 History
Ann Matthews 9781856356848 | €19. 99 | PB | 416 pages | 215 x 135 mm Examines the role and experiences of the women of Cumann na mBan and the Irish Citizen Army, who marched out with the Rebels to challenge the might of the British Empire on Easter Monday 1916 The history of the Irish republican movement is dominated by the story of the men who took up arms in Ireland’s fight for freedom against the British. The names of men like Pearse, Connolly, Collins and Barry still resonate today as heroes who won independence for Ireland. However, the critical role of women in this fight for freedom has often been overlooked. Renegades examines the part played by women in the major political and social revolutions that took place from 1900–1922. It explores the growing separation of republican women into two distinct groups, those active on the military side in Cumann na mBan and those involved on the political side, particularly with Sinn Féin. It also looks at the often ignored ‘war on women’, which manifested itself in the form of physical and sexual assaults by both sides during the War of Independence, and the fury of female republicans as the political establishment accepted the Anglo-Irish Treaty. In this evocative account, Renegades restores the women of the republican movement to the prominent place they deserve in Irish history.

Coffin Ship
The Wreck Of The Brig St. John History, Famine
William Henry 9781856356312 | €14. 99 | PB | 224 pages | 198 x 129 mm The tragic tale of the sinking of the famine ship, the St. John in Massachusetts Bay in 1849. The Great Irish Famine drove huge numbers of Irish men and women to leave the island and pursue their survival in foreign lands. In 1847, some 200,000 people sailed for Boston alone. Of this massive group, 2,000 never made it to their destination, killed by disease and hunger during the voyages, their remains consigned to a watery grave. The sinking of the brig St. John off the coast of Massachusetts in October 1849, was only one of many tragic events to occur during this mass exodus. The ship had sailed from Galway, loaded with passengers so desperate to escape the effects of famine that some had walked from as far afield as Clare to reach the ship. The passengers on the St. John made it to within sight of the New World before their ship went down and they were abandoned by their captain, who denied that there had been any survivors when he and some of his crew made it ashore. For those who died in the seas off Massachusetts, there was nothing to mark their last resting place; no name, no memory of them ever having existed, just another statistic in a terrible tragedy.

The Squad
and the intelligence operations of Michael Collins History, Collins
T. Ryle Dwyer 9781856354691 | €12. 99 | PB | 272 pages | 198 x 129 mm Based on recently-released interviews, The Squad throws a considerable amount of new light on the intelligence operations of Michael Collins. In 1919, Michael Collins conceived of a scheme to knock out the eyes and ears of the British Administration at Dublin Castle by undermining and terrorising the police so that the British would react blindly and drive the Irish people to support of the Irish Republican Army. The Bureau of Military History interviewed those involved in this scheme in the early 1950s with the assurance that the material would not be published in their lifetimes. A few of the contributions were made available by the families of those involved, but the bulk of them have only recently been released. This is the first book to make use of those interviews. It makes fascinating, almost unique reading, because they contain first-hand descriptions in which men speak candidly of their involvement in killing selected people at close range. As a result it throws a considerable amount of new light on the activities of the Squad and the intelligence operations of Michael Collins.

Paul O'Brien 9781856356541 | €12. 99 | PB | 160 pages | 198 x 129 mm The story of the fierce battle at the South Dublin Union during the 1916 Rising by the author of bestselling Blood On The Streets. On Easter Monday 24 April 1916 men and women of the 4th Battalion, Irish Volunteers, under the command of Éamonn Ceannt occupied a number of well-chosen strategic positions in and around James Street, Dublin. One of these buildings was the South Dublin Union. This complex was intended as a counterpart south of the River Liffey to the General Post Office on the north of the river. It was a vast workhouse, a complex of buildings that resembled a small town. It had 52 acres of lawns and almost 3,000 people living within its walls. By 2. 00 p.m. on Easter Monday, that small force of Irish Volunteers were under attack from a large force of the British army. This was to be the beginning of an intense, unremitting guerilla battle that would last until the 30 April 1916. At the end of that week it was estimated that 42 Volunteers were in direct conflict with a force of 500 British soldiers drawn from the Royal Irish Rifles, the Royal Irish Regiment and the Sherwood Foresters. Despite being vastly outnumbered, the garrison of the South Dublin Union were not overpowered but surrendered on orders issued by Patrick Pearse.

Liz Gillis
9781856356800 | €12.99 | PB | 160 pages | 198 x 129 mm On 11 July 1921, the people of Ireland woke to the news that hostilities between the IRA and the British forces had officially ended. The War of Independence was at last over and unsurprisingly, the ordinary citizens who had suffered greatly over the preceding two and a half years had something to hope for – peace. This state of affairs was to be short-lived however, when less that one year later two armies would again bear arms in Ireland. This time it would be Irishmen killing Irishmen. In the early hours of 14 April, the IRA’s Dublin Brigade seized the Four Courts. Shortly after midnight, members of the Executive including Liam Mellows and Ernie O’Malley, together with members of the Dublin Brigade proceeded to the building, but it was not until 28 June 1922 that the first shots of what was to become the Irish Civil War were heard and the battle for Dublin city began. After eight days of fighting, Dublin city was in ruins and a conflict that was to last eleven months and have repercussions for generations, had just begun.

Donegal and the Civil War The Untold Story History, Civil War
Liam Ó Duibhir 9781856357203 | €19. 99 | PB | 288 pages | 215 x 135 mm Donegal and the Civil War tells the story of the Northern Offensive which was organised by both pro- and anti-Treaty IRA with Michael Collins and Liam Lynch being the chief architects. Donegal was one of the counties used to launch this offensive against the newly established government in the six counties. The bulk of the anti-Treaty IRA men who took part were from the southern counties including Cork and Kerry. Donegal became the scene of the last standup fight between the IRA and British military with the latter using heavy artillery for the first time in Ireland since 1916. Following the outbreak of the Civil War these men were inadvertently caught up in the hostilities that followed in County Donegal. Four of these men were subsequently executed in the county, which were the only four executions to take place in the county.

He also recounts his involvement in the ambush at Béal na mBláth, in which his close friend Michael Collins met his death on 22 August 1922.

From Easter Rising to Civil War History
Sean McMahon 9781856354981 | €12. 99 | PB | 192 pages | 129 x 198 mm Brings together in a cohesive and readable volume, the three key events from which the Republic of Ireland evolved – the Easter Rising of 1916, the War of Independence (1919 - 1921) and the Civil War of 1922. The stories of these conflicts, with their scores of killings, torture, reprisals and longlasting bitterness are told concisely in this book. Easter 1916 – the rebellion which took place in Ireland 90 years ago was arguably the most momentous event in this country’s history. The War of Independence – the guerrilla war, characterised by marvellous courage and miserable cruelty. The Civil War – few episodes in Irish history are as poignant, bloody and unnecessary. This book traces the causes, events and consequences of these events. It will help a peaceful generation for which the bloody birth of modern Ireland is ancient history, to gain a better understanding of the essence of their nation.

IRA Jailbreaks 1918-1921 features the factual accounts of 25 daring rescues, rescue attempts and jailbreaks which raised the morale of nationalist Ireland and brought world-wide ridicule and discredit on the prison and internment camp systems in Britain and Ireland. With stories of their resistence to the degrading criminal code by the political prisoners, the hunger strikes and jail riots, the savage beatings and punishments the prisoners suffered during their incarceration, their accounts offer a window on the world of the men who fought and were imprisoned during the struggle for Ireland's independence. Here is history documented by the men who made it.

On the night of 11 December 1920, Cork City experienced an orgy of unprecedented terror at the hands of the British forces of law and order. The War of Independence was in its second year and the previous nine months had witnessed a dramatic escalation of the conflict. In Cork, attacks on the crown forces by the Irish Volunteers were being answered with vicious reprisals, and the streets had become the battleground of a bloody and personalised war of attrition. With two lord mayors dead, several British officers either kidnapped or assassinated, and tension increasing on a daily basis, the fuse had been lit for a night of violence and arson that the people of Cork city would never forget ...
25
In March 1920, Tomás MacCurtain, Lord Mayor of Cork, was shot dead in his own home, in front of his wife and young children, by men with blackened faces.

During the Civil War, when Ernie O’Malley lay under sentence of death in Mountjoy prison hospital, some of his notes were smuggled out. ‘Most of all,’ he wrote, ‘I would have liked to talk about the rank and file where I found solace. ’ Raids and Rallies, an account of various offensives against the British in 1920–21, is his tribute to that rank and file. ‘It was a people’s war, that is why we fought so well from November 1920 …’ ‘What helps to make these memoirs notable … is that O’Malley writes more than a documentary in his constant awareness of nature in the background. ’ – Sunday Press ‘Entrancing reading … for those who seek an insight into the mentality of the men who took on the might of the British Empire. ’ – Sunday Independent ‘Where O’Malley differs from virtually all others who have published their recollections of those years is that he was a writer and an intellectual who was constantly weighing and analysing all that was happening. ’ – The Irish Post

Pádraig Óg Ó Ruairc 9781856356138 | €19. 99 | PB | 320 pages | 215 x 135 mm The fighting story of Co. Clare during the War of Independence. In May 1915 Ernest Blythe was appointed as an organiser for the Irish Volunteers by Volunteer headquarters and was sent to Clare to train the Cloonagh and Kilfenora Volunteers. The authorities were well informed about Blythe’s activities in Clare. He established Irish Volunteer companies at Doolin and Liscannor and supplied the Crusheen company with rifles. Because of his success in organising and arming the Clare Volunteers, Blythe was arrested and deported a few weeks later, under the defence of the realm act. Fifty-three republicans from Clare gave their lives in the struggle for independence, but the story of Clare republicanism goes much deeper than that. Pádraig Óg Ó Ruairc takes the story of Clare’s republicans from the start of the twentieth century to the end of the War of Independence. In the process he examines the course of the campaign, the events both tragic and heroic and the victims, British and Irish. Featuring detailed descriptions of the battles and campaigns, Blood On The Banner offers a fresh perspective on events that shaped the county for decades to come.

Dan Breen was to become the best known of them. At first they were condemed on all sides. They became outlaws and My Fight describes graphically what life was like 'on the run,' with 'an army at one's heels and a thousand pounds on one's head'. A burning belief in their cause sustained them through many a dark and bitter day and slowly support came from the people.

IRA Freedom Fighter History, Biography & Memoir
Meda Ryan 9781856354806 | €14. 99 | PB | 480 pages | 198 x 129 mm Controversial biography of this ruthless Republican activist. 'They said I was ruthless, daring, savage, bloodthirsty, even heartless … the clergy called me and my comrades “murderers”. But the British were met with their own weapons – they had gone down in the mire to destroy us and our nation, and down we had to go after them. ' The story of Tom Barry’s life, peppered by his battles with the State and Church, and his constant endeavours to obtain an All-Ireland Republic makes him a unique and important figure of Irish history. Tom Barry chronicles the action-packed life of the Commander of the Third West Cork Flying Column and one of the great architects of modern guerrilla warfare in Ireland’s fight for freedom. The ‘False Surrender’ controversy, during the decisive Kilmichael ambush, is brought into sharp focus in this book, so too is the controversy regarding sectarianism during the 1920–22 period. It details his involvement on the fringes of the Treaty negotiations; his Republican activities during the Civil War; his engagement in the cease-fire/dump-arms deal of 1923; his term as the IRA’s Chief-of-Staff and his participation in IRA conflicts in the 1930s, 1940s, 1950s right up to his death in 1980.

Buried within Mountjoy Jail, in October 2001 the ten were reburied in Glasnevin Cemetery. Born in Boyle, Co. Roscommon, Patrick Moran lived most of his adult life in Dublin where he took an active part in the GAA, the Gaelic League, the Trade Unions and the Irish Volunteers. He was an active participant in the 1916 Rising and was deported to England after the surrender. On his return in August 1916 he renewed his interest in football and hurling, became a founder member of the Grocers, Vintners and Allied Trades Assistants and he helped to reorganise the Volunteers in Dublin and in his native Roscommon. He was arrested following the assassinations of British Intelligence Officers in Dublin on Bloody Sunday, 21 November 1920, and was finally charged and convicted by a court martial for the murder of Lieutenants Ames and Bennett. He was executed by hanging in March 1921 amid calls from civil and religious leaders for the King of England to exercise the Prerogative of Mercy in an upsurge of overwhelming belief that he was innocent. But was he?

Ralph Riegel and John O'Mahony 9781856356947 | €14. 99 | PB | 256 pages | 215 x 135 mm The dramatic true story of a brave young soldier who laid down his life to try and save a comrade, and the struggle to identify his burial place in the Congo and repatriate his remains. The interior of the old Ford armoured car stank of sweat, blood and acrid smoke. Pat’s eyes desperately struggled to focus in the gloom of the biting cordite fog … On 15 September 1961, Trooper Patrick Mullins was posted missing after the bloody ambush of an Irish UN convoy in a suburb of Elisabethville in the Katanga province of the Congo. The circumstances of that fateful day have remained shrouded in confusion and contradiction for five decades – until now. Missing in Action reveals for the first time how an ill-equipped and heavily out-gunned Irish soldier fought with astonishing courage against heavily armed and ruthless Katangan gendarmes. Through interviews with the survivors and access to military intelligence sources, the truth about Trooper Mullins’ heroic last stand and ultimate fate can now be told.

But there was far more to his life than that. The youngest son of an obscure king from Thomond, he came closer than any other Irishman before him or after him to uniting Ireland. He tamed the Danes of Limerick and the Norsemen of Dublin, overthrew the six-century monopoly of the Uí Néill on the high throne of Ireland and became one of the few high kings to invest that throne with any real authority.

However, there was a vibrant shipbuilding industry in Dublin for nearly two centuries and the story of the different shipyards, the ships they produced and the people who worked there is told here for the first time. Pat Sweeney provides a comprehensive examination of the origins and progress of shipbuilding and ship repair on the Liffey, and documents the progression of the shipbuilding industry in Dublin from its early days at the Walpole and Webb shipyard, through the boom periods of the First and Second World Wars, to the gradual decline of the industry in the late twentieth century.

9781856356909 | €14. 99 | HB | 192 pages | 198 x 129 mm An innovative re-appraisal of the 1916 Proclamation for twenty-first century Ireland One of the most powerful legacies of the Easter Rising of 1916 is the Proclamation of Independence. Its words - 'The Republic guarantees religious and civil liberty, equal rights and equal opportunities to all its citizens, and declares its resolve to pursue the happiness and prosperity of the whole nation and all of its parts, cherishing all of the children of the nation equally . . . ' have resonated down through the years. But how relevant is a document drafted at the start of the twentieth century to Ireland in the twenty-first century? Ireland in 2016 will be a very different country to Ireland in 1916, but not everything will have changed. 2016: A New Proclamation explores the relevance of the original proclamation to Ireland today and invites the reader to determine what they would want to proclaim for Ireland and the Irish in the years ahead. It asks the question: if we had to write it, what would the 2016 Proclamation say?

Inside An Ulster Protestant Band Politics
Darach MacDonald 9781856356725 | €14. 99 | PB | 352 pages | 198 x 129 mm Behind the scenes with a Loyalist Protestant marching band There are 584 marching bands in Northern Ireland, yet their existence and activities are unreported apart from news of flashpoint tensions and riots. This book reveals the inside story on the most dynamic Irish cultural phenomenon of the early twenty-first century. It argues that in many respects the Blood and Thunder bands fulfil a role in Northern Ireland similar to the GAA in the Republic, by espousing their culture, passing on traditional skills and instilling local pride in young participants who compete against each other over a season that extends from March to October. Woven around the diary of an outside observer with an ‘insider’s viewpoint’ during the 2009 Blood and Thunder band season, the book focuses on the prize-winning Castlederg Young Loyalist Flute Band and examines the cultural, historical, social and political nature of Blood and Thunder bands.

The Making Of The Irish Constitution 1937 Politics
Dermot Keogh and Andrew McCarthy
9781856355612 | €30 | HB | 512 pages | 232 x 150 mm The definitive account of how de Valera’s 1937 constitution evolved. Few things have shaped and controlled Irish political and legal culture as decisively as the constitution of Ireland but the circumstances in which it was created have, until now, remained obscure. The Making of the Irish Constitution is an authoritative account of the drafting of this document in which Ireland’s fundamental laws are enshrined. It puts the Irish constitution in a clear historical perspective and examines the political context of the beginnings of the constitution in 1930s Ireland. Set against the background of constitutional developments following the foundation of the state, the authors chart the passage of the constitution through the drafting process. They identify the roles of particular legal, administrative and religious personnel who contributed to the making of this extremely important document, a document which defined the nature of the modern Irish state.

Depression
An Emotion Not A Disease MBS/Religion
Áine Tubridy and Michael Corry 9781856354790 | €14. 99 | PB | 296 pages | 198 x 129 mm Depression is NOT a disease, it is an emotion triggered by traumatic events whose hazardous treatment with drugs by doctors worldwide is only a bandaid, not a cure. Is there any end to the cycle of relapse, hospitalisation and medication for sufferers of depression? Drs Michael Corry and Áine Tubridy believe there is. In this innovative book, Corry and Tubridy present a revolutionary new perspective in which they assert that depression is an emotion, just like fear, anger or love, that can be consciously influenced, rather than a disease which can only be suffered. This theory has enormous implications for the traditional treatment of depression. It puts the sufferer back at the centre of a more individual and tailored approach to healing and raises serious questions about the medical community’s focus on medication as a primary treatment. ‘Liberating and even empowering for some sufferers of depression who previously perceived their illness to be a brain chemistry disorder, the cure of which was beyond their control’ – The Irish Times

Brenda Ní Shúilleabháin 9781856355438 | €19. 99 | PB | 352 pages | 235 x 172 mm Dual language book to accompany the TG4 documentary series Bibeanna. Bibeanna charts Ireland’s progress from a poor rural society to the modern, affluent society it is today. Twenty women from the Dingle gaeltacht look back on their lives and the changes they have witnessed from childhood to the present day. The accounts they give are intimate, recalling their personal lives but their memories and experiences extend beyond the personal. Collectively they provide a commentary on the changing face of Ireland. These women, who are familiar with the hedge schools and the famine from the first hand accounts of their grandparents, now connect with their grandchildren on their mobile phones. In their youth, healing relied on the use of herbs and such traditional healers as the bonesetter; today they have medical centres and home help. They have seen the arrival of radio, television, flush toilets and the page-three pin-up; new-found affluence and political, clerical and local scandal. They have taken much in their stride, and their vitality and resourcefulness continue to glow.

Let love and friendship reign! - a worthy wish and the motto of the famous Claddagh ring. This lovely token of fealty takes its name from the Claddagh, an ancient fishing village now part of Galway city. It is a place steeped in legend and lore but no relic has a more dazzling history than the ring that originated there, comprising two hands surrounding a heart and surmounted by a crown. Tradition has it that in the Claddagh these rings were handed down from mother to daughter. The earliest examples that can be dated are thought to be from about 1700 but it is known that the rings were popular much earlier than this. The Story of the Claddagh Ring tells the story of the ring, the Claddagh, and the city, and provides a fascinating and memorable account of the myths and the history surrounding one of Ireland's oldest love tokens.

A beautiful, photographic tribute to Cork’s lost and rapidly-disappearing retail Folklore & Heritage These photographs act as a document primarily for the shop owners and their families as their place of work and secondly for those who feel a sense of sadness when they see another old shop close. There have been huge changes in Cork over the past ten years, entire buildings even streets have disappeared. These photographs capture some of the remaining businesses, which represent a type of trade and attitude towards community and consumerism completely at odds with new trends in Ireland today. As many of the shop owners have said ‘Change is inevitable, different generations have different demands’ but perhaps these photos will stand as a record of a way of life that will not survive but will be fondly remembered. Our communities will be all the poorer for their passing.

To put this book together Des MacHale has scoured public toilets (not literally!) hotels, churches, shops and supermarkets, garage forecourts, car stickers, undertakers (surprisingly funny), pubs and bars, buses, trains, factories, schools and colleges, farms, newspapers, sports clubs, and indeed just about anywhere sigs and notices are displayed in Ireland.

50 Years of Irish Football Managers Sport
Trevor Keane 9781856356664 | €16. 99 | PB | 320 pages | 215 x 135 mm pages
A complete history of Irish international soccer managers, from Johnny Carey to Giovani Trapattoni. Did you know that an Irish manager did not pick the Irish football team until 1969? Do you know who that manager was? Contrary to popular opinion, Irish football management did not begin with Jack Charlton! From the early days when Irish footballers travelled across the Irish Sea on ships through to today's high-flying superstars, the role of the Irish soccer manager has changed and this book charts their experiences as both players and as managers in the dugout. The Irish Football manager is a high profile and prestigious position with many dramatic highs and lows. Including over 55 personal interviews from the key personalities and the people who knew them best, this book gives a long overdue insight into what it's like to be the manager of the boys in green. For lovers of statistics (and there are plenty!), the book lists results for all the managers during their time in charge as well as their win/loss ratio, so we can finally decide who was the greatest manager Ireland ever had.

Kevin McCarthy
West Cork. November 1920. The Irish War of Independence rages. The body of a young woman is found brutally murdered on a windswept hillside, a scrapboard sign covering her mutilated body reads ‘TRATOR’. Traitor. Acting Sergeant Séan O’Keefe of the Royal Irish Constabulary, a wounded veteran of the Great War, is assigned to investigate the crime, aided by sinister detectives sent from Dublin Castle to ensure he finds the killer, just so long as the killer he finds best serves the purposes of the crown in Ireland. . . The IRA has instigated its own investigation into the young woman’s death, assigning young Volunteer Liam Farrell – failed gunman and former law student – to the task of finding a killer it cannot allow to be one of its own. Unknown to each other, the RIC Constable and the IRA Volunteer relentlessly pursue the truth behind the savage killing, their investigations taking them from the bullet-pocked lanes and thriving brothels of a war-torn Cork city to the rugged, deadly hills of West Cork, both seeking a killer, both seeking to stay alive in a time where 'murder’s as common as rain and no one knows a thing about it, even when they do.

Deep in the corner of this graveyard lies Jack Carey, christened ‘Black Jack’ by those who knew him in life. Death has not stopped his tormenting. His evil moves through the soil like a tentacle, tainting everything it touches, spreading misery and unrest. It moves over the bones of the dead - a dark shadow, that prods them awake. When the teeth of the big earthmovers disturb the bones of those that lie in fretful sleep they start a chain of disaster that results in the resurrection of a terrible evil that was buried among the famine victims. The planned dream homes became the stuff of nightmares for their occupants, as Black Jack Carey is once again released, to torment both the living and the dead. It would have been wiser to let him sleep.
Fiction The Wormdigger's Daughter Fiction
John Farrell
9781856355742 | €10. 99 | PB | 256 pages | 198 x 129 mm The story follows the desperate struggle of a couple, labouring on one of the estates owned by the landed aristocracy in Ireland, to protect their daughter from the attentions of a friend of the master of the estate. Based on a powerful and true story set in Ireland during the 1920s and 1930s. The Wormdigger’s Daughter is the heartbreaking story of a family on the run. It is a tale of tragic resonance, which depicts a universal struggle against injustice and oppression. The author first heard the story when he was a boy of twelve. He was huddled in a roadside tent in the midst of a bitter winter and was told the tale by the then frail and elderly Molly and her husband Frank. The couple had been working on a large estate in Meath where the hardship of their life had already claimed the lives of their three young sons. Their remaining child, Angel, was the focus of all their love and hope for the future. When they overheard a friend of the master of the estate lay claim to their daughter they left secretly in the dead of night, but were then falsely accused of stealing and forced to become fugitives. They disguised Angel as a boy to maintain their cover and found help from sympathetic farmers along the road. Their lives were governed by the terror of being discovered and arrested, and above all, by their fear of what would happen to their daughter if she had to return to the estate. Their only hope lay with some influential Americans who befriended them and offered them the possibility of escape – but at a terrible price.

The wind carved elegiac plunder in the chimney and every banshee wail exploded awake a freshly forgotten colour in my mind. Children see the world in different lights, the brilliance of which is far too easily given up. This time, discovering them anew, I held fast and determined that I’d never again let go.’ With its stories of lost love and shared secrets, tender moments and little victories, In Too Deep is a wonderful follow-up to Billy’s collection In Exile.

The leprechaun is the keeper of the crock of gold at the end of the rainbow and he knows where all the wealth of the world is buried. If you are lucky enough to catch him, you must keep your eyes on him at all times and not allow him to distract your attention or he will disappear. If he does not out-smart you he can make you very wealthy and can make your wishes come true!
